Losant and ZEDEDA Partner to Deliver Scalable Edge and IoT Infrastructure
Organizations across industries are recognizing the immense potential of IoT and edge applications to enhance efficiency, drive innovation, and create new revenue streams. However, harnessing this potential often involves navigating a unique set of challenges. Integrating and orchestrating data from a wide array of devices and systems, often spread across diverse locations, is a complex task that can strain resources. Developing and deploying applications tailored for edge environments demands specialized skills and can lead to prolonged development cycles. Additionally, managing the security, reliability, and performance of edge devices in remote and unpredictable settings often requires sophisticated solutions. The distributed nature of edge computing also amplifies security concerns, necessitating robust measures to protect against unauthorized access, data breaches, and device tampering.
A new partnership between Losant and ZEDEDA aims to simplify this journey by offering a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that is poised to reshape the way businesses approach edge computing and IoT implementations. This collaboration unites Losant’s Enterprise IoT Platform, renowned for its low-code application development environment, with ZEDEDA’s open edge orchestration and management solution, creating a powerful synergy that addresses the challenges of managing complex workflows in distributed environments.
The Losant and ZEDEDA partnership delivers a comprehensive solution that addresses the key challenges of edge computing and IoT implementations. By combining Losant’s user-friendly application development platform with ZEDEDA’s robust edge orchestration capabilities, this joint solution offers a range of benefits that streamline data management, accelerate application deployment, simplify device management, ensure scalability, and enhance security across the entire IoT ecosystem.

Why we invested in ZEDEDA: visibility, control, and security for the distributed edge
Traditionally, the deployment and remote management of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) at the edge has been difficult and expensive. One of the most significant hurdles faced by enterprise users today is the cost and lead time needed to update what are often proprietary legacy solutions. In the current environment, the majority of IIoT solution providers offer highly customized, siloed solutions for customers in specific verticals. As a result, these verticalized solutions tend to be fragmented and often are expensive to update and maintain.
We invested in ZEDEDA because the company has proven it can remain a horizontal play across multiple industrial verticals. ZEDEDA was founded in 2016 as a vertical solution provider. But in 2019, the company made the decision to open source its flagship product, EVE-OS.
